Chilling Point

It's not every day you bid farewell to winter by frolicking in the snow. So, when the opportunity presented itself, we decided to master the art of chilling.

Chilling Point

Embracing spontaneity and travelling to diverse corners of the country are the defining aspects of the lifestyle of an automotive journalist. However, amid all this thrill and excitement, the simplicity of a leisurely morning often eludes us – rare are the moments when we wake up on a Wednesday morning without a packed schedule, simply to chill.

Something similar happened recently, as I was again put on a familiar path of discovering on a Tuesday evening about an early departure the next morning for a drive in the MG Hector. The destination was Auli, Uttarakhand. At least, the prospect of journeying to a cold destination seemed promising, for it would be the perfect way to end the winter before the arrival of the impending summer.

As I reached the MG dealership in Noida, bleary-eyed in the morning, curiosity about the purpose of the drive began to gnaw at me. When I enquired with MG representatives about the agenda, they simply said that they only knew about our accommodation arrangements for the night; the rest was left to our discretion – quite unusual, I must say, for that’s not how things usually work. Joining me on this drive was Hiyan, our resident meme expert along with Karan and Vicky from another publication, who shared the car with us.
